Does using Occular Spell provoke and AoO?

Does using the feat Occular Spell from Lords of Madness provoke an attack of opportunity?

You first cast the spell. This provokes AoO for casting a spell, though you can cast defensively.

You then have the spell stored in your eyes. When you shoot it out as a ray, this provokes an AoO for making a ranged attack.

It's a strange circumstance, but technically making Ranged Touch Attacks and Ranged Full Attacks never provokes AoOs.

Probably not the intent, but RAW only the Attack (Ranged) action provokes.

My interpretation of a "touch attack" works exactly the same as a regular attack, except some AC bonuses do not apply. So Touch Attack (Ranged) would be a subset of Attack (Ranged)

It is still not defined as Gaze attack, but a Ray (a ranged touch attack). So, no, you do not gaze at them, you snipe them with your laser eyes :)
